You can tell they’ve never read the comics and know nothing about them by the way they keep crying forced diversity and too many gays

—Ada Limón, from “The Last Thing,” The Carrying (Milkweed Editions, 2018)

The all-night convenience store’s empty and no one is behind the counter. You open and shut the glass door a few times causing a bell to go off, but no one appears. You only came to buy a pack of cigarettes, maybe a copy of yesterday’s newspaper— finally you take one and leave thirty-five cents in its place. It is freezing, but it is a good thing to step outside again: you can feel less alone in the night, with lights on here and there between the dark buildings and trees. Your own among them, somewhere. There must be thousands of people in this city who are dying to welcome you into their small bolted rooms, to sit you down and tell you what has happened to their lives. And the night smells like snow. Walking home for a moment you almost believe you could start again. And an intense love rushes to your heart, and hope. It’s unendurable, unendurable.

— Franz Wright, “Night Walk” (via oh-girl-among-the-roses)

when all of this is over, will you join me on a picnic?
